Cacao made from the beans of the Theobroma Cacao tree originated many thousands of years ago in the Amazonian basin and traveled from there into Central America and beyond. Cacao is revered as a sacred plant and as a medicine. During the time of the Olmec, Mayan and Aztecs, the fruit and its seeds were traded as currency, drunk in Ceremony, as sacrament for rights of passage and important events such as weddings, as well as being used as a ceremonial offering to the gods. Named the “Food of the gods”, it has been honoured for its uplifting and heart opening properties. "When humans participate in ceremony, they enter a sacred space. Everything outside of that space shrivels in importance. Time takes on a different dimension. Emotions flow more freely. The bodies of participants become filled with the energy of life, and this energy reaches out and blesses the creation around them. All is made new everything becomes sacred." Sun Bear, Chippewa teacher and writer. Cacao's many bio active compounds enhanced with the power of our intentions helps us connect with our intuition, emotions, feelings and mind. Our bodies enters a state of homeostasis, our mind calms and concentrates, our mood uplifts whilst our heart opens helping us feel more and release any stagnant emotion. The benefits of cacao are many and work in the physical, emotional and energetic bodies. Cacao is a natural antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant.

BENIFITS OF ECSTATIC DANCE Ecstatic dance offers a place of wellbeing, to fully connect with the inner-self and to the life force that is alive inside and around every one of us. It is an invitation to lean into, trust and give full expression to sensations and emotions in the body. For thousands of years and all around the planet, in all cultures such as the native Americans and whirling dervishes, to name a couple, dance has been used as a communal, ritualistic, healing force. The use of movement and dance is not only a form of exercise, it also promotes emotional and social integration! Through dance you can get in touch with your emotions, exploring and expressing them. This helps release tension in the body and a gives a chance for any emotions waiting under the surface to be expressed. This helps restore the dancer with self-regulation, relaxation, wholeness, aliveness and releases stress. The use of music and sound, plays a vital role in this too. The music and the sound waves that are heard hold the space for the expression, especially facilitating any repressed or unexpressed emotions to be released. Emotions are energy in motion! They are an intrinsic part of the human experience.

"The ceremony was shared with warmth, open heartedness, joy and deep respect for the Cacao and its origins. I have been to many ceremonies over the years but there was a purity to this one and an invitation to be fully present. I usually feel a lot of emotional upheaval and heaviness with Cacao but this time it felt very light and uplifting." Aiyana. "I have been part of two of Deya's Cacao ceremonies and each has been unique. Deya is deeply connected to the spirit of Cacao and it is apparent when she works with this spirit, things come alive. When working with Cacao I feel uplifted and liberated and find it easy to clearly see my highest joy and this helps me to move forwards with the visions I have. Since meeting Deya and connecting with CacaoAmor, I have progressed with surrendering to the Yes in in my life, I am so grateful for this new and fruiting connection." Vanisha.
